not if they get the facilities and money right

I think whats holding the U back is the facilities and no stadium to call its own

the history and brotherhood is there

My point is they shouldn't be going after ppl who aren't ever going to go there or who aren't feasible

A capable coaching staff is holding us back. The stadium and facilities is to me all a cop out. If we win the people will come. The Orange bowl was the same way it wasn't sold out packed every game. It of course isn't as bad now but for big games people shown up just like the OB. A stadium would be cool but its not needed for success.

mannnn the orange bowl was rocking because it wasnt so big

im telling you im around recruits all day they all talk about facilities, campus, and the perks like Nike schools and jerseys n stuff

times have changed these kids are all about having the latest just look at the shoe game with all the youngsters coming in

how you gonna go on a visit to this then go to Miami









They need to make this happen period

Like I've said in a previous post..... Miami needs to catch up in college football. Facilities especially. Not only for the kids but for the coaches as well.

If they want to show coaches they are serious about football, they need to show that they are committed to a football program. The era IMO of "we can get by with average facilities and average everything" is done. You need to give a great reason as to why a proven coach or a good coach should come to Miami. Recruiting grounds doesn't cut it anymore. Everybody comes to south florida and will get their share of the pie. So with that, When you see schools like UF or FSU give every possible resource to win, then it is time for UM to do the same. Why coach at UM with a fickle fan base, average facilities and recruite the same area as other schools when you can do the same at a bigger state school with more resources at your disposal?

I know the money is a huge deal, but money will always hinder MIami. Until they catch up and realize you need to spend money to get the best possible things, UM will remain irrelevant.

OSU football: NCAA, investigative consultant say Sports Illustrated allegations 'fundamentally unfounded'

STILLWATER -- Sports Illustrated’s myriad allegations of misconduct within the Oklahoma State football program were “fundamentally unfounded,” according to a joint statement released Tuesday by the NCAA and an outside consultant hired by OSU.

The SI series was published in September 2013 and alleged improprieties including payments to players, sexual favors from the Orange Pride support group, academic misconduct and rampant drug use.

OSU retained The Compliance Group to investigate the allegations. The Compliance Group, of Lenexa, Kan., is led by Chuck Smrt, who spent 18 years on the NCAA enforcement staff and has run the consultant firm since 1999.

Smrt and the NCAA conducted a joint investigation and found three Level II violations, termed “more than minimal, but less than extensive,” by Smrt and OSU officials.

The U needs to catch up with times these kids want all the latest perks in a facility, locker room, and on the field appearance (jerseys)

NOTES FROM WATCHING A VERY BAD FOOTBALL TEAM LOSE VERY BADLY
By Spencer Hall  @edsbs on Oct 20 2014, 12:36p 1093

NOW IT'S JUST FUNNY

10. And at that point, with the entire stadium's jaw on the concrete floors of the stadium, you were stuck with the kind of answers you get when the reasonable runs out and you begin openly asking baffled questions of the universe, and then offering insane explanations. Will Muschamp must hate Jeff Driskel. He must hate offense so much that he couldn't even support his own team's attack, and chose to play all-time defensive coordinator for both teams like a bored video gamer. You grab for the kind of explanations you normally avoid: this team has given up, this coaching staff has given up, and negative attitude something something something.

NSFW: It's Meltdown Time! Week Eight

This week's edition of our shameless revelry in the misery of others.

This week's meltdown should be served with chili and brisket as there is a decidedly southwestern flavor repped by Oklahoma and Baylor plus, for the third consecutive week, the Aggies (sorry guys, had to do it) who introduce us this week to BAS- Battered Aggie Syndrome. For good measure, Florida throws its hat in the ring as well, and it's hard to blame them considering they managed to get housed in the Swamp by a mediocre team that only managed 120 yards of offense. Something tells me Gator fans will have nightmares of Will Muschamp and Jeff Driskel for years to come. As always, much of the language in this post is vile, disgusting, and offensive. If this type of thing bothers you, then read no further. You have been warned. Enjoy.

 NOBODY has heard that one before!

Where would Miami build that? Coral Gables doesn't seem like they would be willing to have their neighborhood disrupted for a stadium.

show me a picture of the Orange bowl during the 2000-2004 seasons when it wasnt packed and rocking blasting Trick Daddy

nobody is saying build a 80k+ stadium

but a smaller well built 50k stadium like Autzen stadium would do the job

how does a High School have better stadiums and facilities then one of the top program in the nations with so much tradition and history :x

I think the problem starts with you calling Miami one of the top programs in the country... They're not...

They were. They did a lot of 80s-early 2000s winning, but aside from those 20 or so years... they're not.

Allen Texas and all Texas related football in general has more history than the U.

Not a slight, just reality.

Your administration won't commit money, the administration took away the coaches that knew how things worked there, and your kids are going elsewhere and not just to your school.

Miami's strength was its self supporting talent, not its boosters or facilities or coaches. Now that everyone else is catching up talent wise with their and your kids you either need awesome coaching or all your recruits to stay home (read: out-athlete competition and win in spite of Golden)

that was such pass interference.

the dude is getting mugged... and the flag doesn't even come in that late.

re-watch it.

the flag comes in at the 20 second mark... it wasn't even late.

Simple. We have the dumbest politicians. Miami taxpayers get swindled into paying for Marlins stadium because they were so scared about the Marlins leaving.

Coral Gables is so antiquated in their ways that they will never allow a stadium to destroy their peace and tranquility.

 Miami isn't a top program right now, they were. But saying aside from those 20 years   doesn't make much sense. The 80s- early 2000s is a long time to be a CFB power. You can't dismiss that. 

Funding and commitment from the school can't be denied. This whole argument is

I just mean that the people who are pumping money into Texas/Bama/OU/etc. have been pumping money in as a family for 3 generations now. You have literally a 15-20 year span of time when people/alums cared about Miami. As a result, no you won't have facilities like places where old oil billionaires since the 1950s have set up trusts and the like to guarantee money is pumped into football.
